About Me

I believe the most impactful intelligence is built from the ground up. While many rely on the "magic" of pre-built libraries, my approach to Data Science is rooted in mathematical rigor and fundamental clarity.

"Whether implementing Gaussian Mixture Models from scratch or guiding students through Python at BU — my focus is mastering the fundamentals to build systems with purpose."

My work sits at the intersection of Machine Learning and Large Language Models, driven by a commitment to developing projects that move beyond "proof of concept" into meaningful, real-world utility.

Beyond data, I am a former National Quizzer on Indian National Television — a background that fuels my lifelong pursuit of clarity and rapid knowledge synthesis.

Beyond the Data

Football

A die-hard fan of Manchester United and Bayern Munich — football isn't just something I watch, it's something I live. Most Sundays you'll find me in Swampscott, lacing up my cleats and hitting the pitch.

🥾

Hiking

From the Chanderkhani Pass in India to Blue Mountain in Canton, MA and Valley Forge National Historic Park — hiking offers the quiet I need to reset and recharge.

🧠

Quiz & Knowledge

Former National Quizzer who appeared on Indian National Television in 11th grade. That competitive curiosity still drives everything — from rapidly synthesizing research papers to building better ML intuition.

🌐

Model United Nations

Active participant in BosMUN and BarMUN at Boston University. MUN sharpens the same skills that make data science compelling — synthesizing complex information and communicating nuanced ideas clearly.
